feedback methods and systems for diagnostic and treatment optimization.

fiber based welding and tissue soldering.

hybrid sensors.

The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers, scientists, engineers, clinicians, industrialists, entrepreneurs and students belonging to different disciplines who have a common interest in the development and use of optical sensing and fiber-based techniques and methodologies. We aim to create a synergistic environment for discussion and growth of the field.

The conference puts a strong emphasize on translation research as well commercialization. A special industry session will be incorporated.

The conference subject is particularly suitable to obtain the right balance among the various disciplines. To this aim, the papers should report on both technical and biomedical advances. Contributions focusing on the development of fibers, endoscopic delivery, and diagnostic systems sensing methods for applications in all biomedical areas are solicited.
